What’s the Democrats’ Midterm Campaign Message?

MOST POPULAR

House Democratic leaders are looking to hone their messaging for the midterm elections, The Hill reports — but it’s not an easy task.

“As an early indication of the challenge they face, even party leaders are offering differing responses when asked what the Democrats should fast-track if they win the House gavel next year,” The Hill's Mike Lillis writes.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi listed infrastructure, campaign finance reform, tougher gun laws and help for immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as minors.

House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer said he would “focus like a laser on job creation, infrastructure and skills training investment.”

Rep. Joseph Crowley of New York, who chairs the House Democratic Caucus, said he’d prioritize health-care access, affordable college tuition and oversight of the Trump administration.
